Re: Polaroid back for X-700 anyone interested?

Polaroid backs for Minolta 9000AF are sometimes to be found , I have one .

While it's not compatible with the X700 you could obtain one and use it for parts to graft onto an x700 back .

The main thing to take into account is that there is a glass plate type thing that goes from the film plane of the camera to reach further back to where the Polaroid film is .

IIRC it is made out of fibre-optics .

I take it you realise that the image is still only the same size as on 35mm film , and not magnified to fill the whole sheet of Polaroid ?

Hardly any use at all and was only used to check Exposure and lighting before loading a roll of film for a photo shoot .
